CISPR

The Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques (CISPR; English: International Special Committee on Radio Interference) was founded in 1934 to set standards for controlling electromagnetic interference in electrical and electronic devices, and is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Organization

CISPR is composed of six subcommittees, each responsible for a different area, defined as:

Technical standards

CISPR's standards cover the measurement of radiated and conducted interference. EMI test results can vary widely according to the exact layout of the equipment and cabling. CISPR set various standards for the test layout, to help improve the reliability of comparison between tests. These standards cover cable lengths, measurement device configuration and grounding schemes. The standards also address immunity from external interference.

When purchasing equipment, a company or organization can require compliance to one or more CISPR standards from the supplier.

CISPR have published over thirty standards to date. Some of the more important include:
